Rotherham striker Drewe Broughton has signed a new one-year contract with the club, while nine first-team players have been released.

Broughton struck nine goals for the Millers this season as he proved a key part of manager Mark Robins' plans.

The League Two outfit, who began the campaign with a 17-point deduction after entering administration, have therefore acted to secure the forward's immediate future and have tied the former MK Dons player down until June 2010.

Broughton said: "I'm delighted with the new deal. I've felt at home in Rotherham and can see the club is moving forward and I want to be a part of that.

"It's been a great season for the club. Rotherham United are now a team that is taken seriously around the country and we will now start the new campaign on zero points, which will give us a level playing field with the rest of the division."

Rebuild

Meanwhile, Robins has begun rebuilding his squad for next term by releasing nine members of his squad.
